Monuments

Cedar Hill Cemetery’s remarkable monuments commemorate the lives of those buried here and in particular the markers located in the historic sections are creative expressions of Victorian funerary art. Many were designed and executed by noted artists and architects, such as Carl Conrads, Randolph Rogers, Richard M. Upjohn, and George Keller.

Impressive memorial artworks include the 18-foot, granite pyramid marking the grave of insurance executive Mark Howard, the angel Gabriel atop the Colt Monument, and the pink granite memorial for financier J.P. Morgan, which represents Morgan’s vision of the Ark of the Covenant.
